Sorry, Morgan Freeman. Ron Bingham is now my first choice to narrate every Clint Eastwood movie, nature documentary and American Express commercial from 2013 forward.

I actually paused after his first sentence and poured a warm cup of cocoa. The video was taken near the corner of Portia and McKinley in Sunnyvale after a January 21, 1962 snowfall. It’s like watching a 1 minute 17 second episode of “Wonder Years,” with a dog instead of people. And the dog’s name is Lucky! (Or is it Bucky? Whatever. Now I’m pausing the video to light a pipe.)

He ends by saying, in his Ron Bingham way, “The resolution is not of the highest quality. And for that I apologize.” Apologize for nothing, Ron. I really enjoyed this video.

Below we have a second film, taken the same day in San Jose …

This doesn’t have the mystical Terrence Malick quality of Ron’s video, but there are human beings, heavy snowfall, and you can see the pink 1960s house and the people’s fashions in color. Also, that may be a Yeti that runs quickly by the screen at the 16 second mark.

I also have a hard time explaining the guy in short sleeve shirts. I can only guess that’s everyone’s cousin from Pittsburgh, who packed like a tourist because he assumed it’s always tropical in California.

Thanks to Steve and Ron for posting the videos!

Curiously, I couldn’t find any from 1976, even though home video camera technology was better. I’m guessing everyone was too busy drinking Tab and going to key parties to walk outside and take video. If you have some great snow video from 1976 or 1962, throw it on YouTube and send me a link.
